Obama tasks tech execs with social issues, not just the economy

Obama opened the first meeting of his jobs council by stressing the need to knock down regulatory obstacles and help businesses compete abroad, but he also put a word in for social issues.

"We want to make sure that we're also putting a little pressure on you guys to figure out how do we make sure that the economy is working for everybody," he said to a room full of business executives.

"How do we make certain that working families across the country are sharing in growing productivity and that we're not simply creating an economy in which one segment of it is doing very well, but the rest of the folks are out there treading water?"

Obama is telling the tech execs to figure out how to redistribute income and wealth.

And he calls it a "Jobs Council". This is more like communist central government planning.

How any tech “exec” can listen to this guy with a straight face escapes me

[Aria]

He obviously never heard that Necessity is the Mother of Invention.

[Pelham]

Hell, those fools probably voted for him.

“...but the rest of the folks are out there treading water?”

Gosh! The sissy-boy’s Teleprompter sure sounds like O’Reilly.

Perfectly parallel with making NASA a Mooselimb outreach

In other words, the deal is off.

Well now that they see what their boy expects them to do, grotesquely off-mission and so socialistic, maybe they’ll think twice in 2012.

"How do we make certain that working families across the country are sharing in growing productivity and that we're not simply creating an economy in which one segment of it is doing very well, but the rest of the folks are out there treading water?"

I agree with him. The democrat politicians are getting richer and richer while the tax payers are getting poorer and poorer. We need to redistribute the politicians wealth first, and get that part out of the way. We can discuss the rest later.

You can see why Castro loves Obama.

Obama wants to turn the US into a "communist paradise".

[max americana]

These tech execs are mostly Dems as they come from Silicon Valley. I would have sent my lobbyist there instead of wasting my time with pResident Jarjar.

"How do we make certain that working families across the country are sharing in growing productivity and that we're not simply creating an economy in which one segment of it is doing very well, but the rest of the folks are out there treading water?"

I have an idea. Why not share the WORK and allow the wealth to redistribute itself? Defund all social programs. It's a win win for everyone.

Total smoke and mirrors. Obama WANTS the American economy wrecked and people out of work. It's what he does. It comes from his Kenyan Muslim Marxist roots.

[funfan]

So in other words hire someone who is less quaified but fits the diversity quota— so is gonna bring out the brass knuckles soon?

[baddog 219]

I can tell you that I know obama is trying his best to kill this nation one way or another. Through financial collapse or social collapse, he will bring the U.S. to it's knees.
He has stabbed every pro U.S. nation in the back. He has created a new entitlement that we no way can afford. He has stopped any hope of the U.S. providing it's own energy.
He has gutted the nation like a pig and is waiting for the final death throws.

[IrishCatholic]

Comrade Obama to you bub.
